[QUOTE="Hookturnr, post: 1035954, member: 22612"] Broz, good shooting! I read through this all and felt I'd throw in my .02. I have been carrying a Pro Crimson Carry for years now and coudn't be happier. I use a Galco V Hawk IWB holster and it's so comfortable I don't even notice it's there most of the time. As for the utility of the laser, it's not in the daylight on the practice range that it will truly shine. It's in that dark parking lot or backyard when it will truly show it's value. The one and only time I had to draw my weapon, the instant that red dot hit that shitbags chest, he turned and ran away. I was working late in the city and had 3 blocks to walk to the parking garage, noticed I was being followed in the middle of block 1, crossed the street on block 2, he crossed and closed distance..I turned and drew as I cut the corner of block 2, he decided it was time to go elsewhere. I hope I never have to draw it again, let alone use it, but I do think the laser adds an intimidation factor as well as providing easy low light sighting. As for my practice routine, lots of dry fire. Put a 1" piece of tape on a wall at home and practice your ENTIRE drawstroke through trigger press. GO SLOW and try to make it as perfect as possible. Speed will come with time. When live fire practicing, do the same. Shooting the pistol is almost secondary to getting a clean, fast draw in a defensive situation. Learn to draw correctly and practice it constantly. I shoot very little in a standard combat stance, I'd say 90% of my live fire practice is turning, walking, moving, using some type of "cover", etc. The more odd positions you can shoot from, the better prepared you'll be if you NEED to do it. My final point, winchester PDX 230gr HP is the Ranger Bonded in civilian packaging...why not carry a round that has been tested for duty use and proven to be effective? I know I get a little more of a warm and fuzzy with 2 mags full of that... [/QUOTE]
